I have the BodyGuardz anti-glare screen protector and love it.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
cheap "Screen Guards" matte/anti-glare from ebay... i got mine for $1.50 and its better than my boxwave anti-glare

[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I'm very happy with the clear version of the ebay "screen guards", and I'm coming off a steinheil crystal clear on my og evo. Might give the anti glare a whirl at this price.
[HTC EVO 3D] Johnabis:
Bitslizer, are you still liking the screenguard anti glare ? is it really clear or no?

nhutpham did you give the anti glare a try? i'm debating of either getting the clear or anti glare version of the seller you got yours from.

[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I picked up a couple of the anti glares, but haven't installed it yet. I was gonna wait until my clear one got scuffed up a bit, but it actually doesnt have any scratches yet. Just looking at the anti glare ones, they are closer to clear than they are matte, for example if i hold one up to my screen i don't see any distortion, and the glare seems the same (the plastic backings are still on so this might account for that). But it's clear enough that i would be hard pressed to tell you which one was clear and which one was anti glare, at least looking at them before installing. I'll try to get more feedback after installing the anti glare, but if you need to get it right now I'd say get one of each ;-)

[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
So you actually convinced me to try out the anti glare, I had the tiniest speck of dust on my clear one that looked like a dead pixel so I gave this one a whirl. So there actually is a pronounced matte finish, I just couldn't make it out because of the backings. The surface feels like smooth paper, making similar noise when you slide your finger across it. Not the kind of surface that snags your finger when it's clean, the slide is always the same.

As for the anti glare, it works in dulling glare, but not eliminating it. It's pretty similar to other anti glares in this department.

The clarity is pretty decent, for an anti glare. I used the sgp anti glare on my og evo, and this one is maybe less matte than that one but close. Most cheaper protectors are much more on the matte side of things. There is a downgrade in clarity from bare screen/clear protectors, it looks like tiny pixelation, in different colors like tiny droplets of water. That's not to say it's not good, for an anti glare it actually is, text is pretty sharp and the screen still looks relatively good. 3D still views fine.

For me tho, the clear winner is the crystal (har har). It just looks nicer watching movies and pictures. I'm really more used to it, since it's like the bare screen. If you're used to anti glare protectors, I'd definitely recommend this one, it really is a quality choice. It's about the right compromise imo between clarity and anti glare properties. And it does fit very well, really is edge to edge without any problems during install. Considering the expensive brand usually cut it short for ease of install, this is quite a feat.

Could someone with a matte screen protector try the 3D separation test here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1189035

I tried a matte screen protector on mine and it really killed the 3D effect. Apparently it scatters the light enough to cause a lot of crosstalk when viewing 3D material.

[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I tried it, and in landscape mode I get clean left/right separation. In portrait I gotta tilt the phone a bit to get it to work. Really though, and 3D works fine, but looks much clearer on clear protector. Regular movies and pictures look fine unless you're up close, but 3D movies lose clarity in a way that's more noticeable. Like I said tho, it works just fine and its watchable, it just doesn't look as good as it does normally.

The best way I can put it is this, it's like looking at a crt screen up close. The image is there, just looks like there's some pixel dust sprinkled on it. Some videos play pretty well, and the ones I ripped show up a bit worse than say some high quality youtube streams. 3D pictures view pretty well. If you're set on anti glare, this one will work fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Johnabis:
Thanks, I will go ahead and get the clear one then.
[HTC EVO 3D] Johnabis:
hey one last question. are fingerprints any different on the two? meaning does one resist fingerprints more then the other?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
The matte is better with fingerprints/faceprints, but you still see a little bit. When the screen is on you don't notice very much, but with it off you can see smudges.

They're $1.50 man, get both if you have a hard time deciding. After playing around with the anti-glare for a while, and getting over the initial difference from clear, it's really quite liveable for day to day use. You don't notice it as much with darker colors/backgrounds, mostly only when it's lighter or on a white screen. I still prefer the clear, but I'm sure there are those that wouldn't want to keep wiping their screen all the time.

[HTC EVO 3D] chris17house:
The stock Evo 3d rom has slight crackling/distortion when playing bluetooth audio, as well as with headphones.

The only bluetooth music and headphone playback that's been perfect was on MIUI Evo 4g.

Does anyone know what makes MIUI audio playback work better? Or have an update for the bluetooth to play without static?
[HTC EVO 3D] 4 Door Skyline:
If ur also connected to the "headphone" via Bluetooth then it will sound like that, try goin into the Bluetooth settings and only connecting to Bluetooth audio. That worked for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] chris17house:
I don't have both connected simultaneously. It's crackly with each one.

When using bluetooth audio, i have it streaming to my car stereo. Using my old evo and going back and forth between MIUI and stock roms, the difference is night and day.
[HTC EVO 3D] xRuiner:
I had lousy sound too through the Bluetooth.. When I looked at the settings.. I noticed the SRS enhancement was on.. I turned that off to "no effects" and then it was back to normal sounds on my car stereo.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] zahashingo123:
Anyone else having this problem?

Ive been through 3 flyers from best buy all with small pieces of dust under the screen

UPDATE: wow so i went to best buy with my box and charger and cables unopened with my flyer and asked if i could exchange my flyer because i have pieces of dust in my screen

i showed the worker then she brought the customer service manager named mitchel and looked at my screen and i showed him the dust and he was wiping it and looking and it is very visible but he told me he cannot see anything and i pointed with my finger where it is and it is very clearly under the screen

even the other worker lied to me

what should i do?

the customer service manager told me i could return it and get my money back but won't let me buy another flyer.

i don't get how that works either
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] T120ted:
Nope, but i was wondering when someone was going to op a thread on it. Seems like there's one of these threads in every tablet forum. Seeing how no one has brought it up yet, I would say it's not a big number of owners.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] steinerhippo:
I also had a small piece of dust on the display. It is really annoying, because i'm always looking at that point knowing that it is there. I contacted HTC and they told me to speak with my dealer. I sent the flyer to them und they passed it to HTC.

I haven't got it back yet, but i really hope they fix that :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gabs2012:
Nope, I haven't been exchanging it a lot since the aftermarket here in our country sucks... Pkus I bouht it in Singapore.

I guess I just have to live with it but now that I checked my screen again... The speck of dust is missing!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] zahashingo123:
oh wow so they actually go away?

how long have you had your sensation?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abit late:
I returned my first flyer because of a small piece of dust under the screen that I found annoying. My second one had a dead sub-pixel which I found even more annoying. OCD? Maybe. Anyway number 3 seems ok but I find myself not looking too closely at the screen in case a spot something again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] miguel11691:
What recovery is best for ext4.. i am currently using the latest xm recovery but i heard there was a better recovery that supports ext4... i am currently installing the revolutions zip ext4 so it formats my phone before i install any rom.. does that make my phone ext4 or should i install another recovery system?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ace42:
I was passing thru but I think I can shed some light hopefully. I don't know about this "xm", but if it's anything like the EXT4 Recovery or Clock work recovery, or amon_Ra...If the recovery is a EXT4 specific recovery it should convert the file system to EXT4 only[/system, /cache, /data] when ever you wipe. But you need to flash a EXT4 enabled ROM also to take full advantage, a EXt3 ROM[EXt3 is default on all roms w/o EXT4] will work on the EXT4 partitions, but won't be as fast.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:

I was on oxygen 2.1.6 before this. I switched to cm7 nightlies for the camera physical shutter button feature.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isinisterx:
Can you tell me how to switch between the two?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Go to recovery. Hit Backup, after just flash CM7 the way you flashed Oxygen. Backup apps with Titanium before for easy restoring on CM7. Also get Google apps zip as CM doesn't include them.

Also keep i mind that the hardware cam button only works when the app is running. However you can set cam app to one of the 4 touch buttons below your display.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RGX521:
Make sure you perform a wipe of your data partition, as well as a wipe of cache and (advanced ->) dalvik cache before flashing CM. Besides using Titanium, you also absolutely need to perform a full backup from recovery... Otherwise, things may get complicated if anything goes wrong. Once on CM, do *not* use the 2g/3g toggle feature, as it has a known bug that may well send your phone off into non-usability. In any case, CM is a very different approach to Oxygen, so switching over just for the camera button function might be a bit much if you actually like the way Oxygen works.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isinisterx:
Thanks for the details. The only reason why I went with oxygen is because when I was rooting the person that helped me was on oxygen! :p ill read up on Cm before I switch.

Works fine on CM7, you can choose between all the hardware buttons.

[Motorola Photon 4G] _unknown:
Hello Photon owners! I've been taking care of the Webtop over HDMI hacks over on the Atrix. I've patched the Photon Webtop files, allowing you to run webtop over HDMI on Sprint 4.5.1A, without the requirements of an official dock! :)

Requirements:

Be rooted

Be able to work with adb

First, unpack the attached zip-file.

Go into the correct directory for your version.

Now run (in a terminal)

adb push DockService.apk /sdcard/
adb push PortalApp.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
# you are now in the phone shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
mv /system/app/DockService.apk /system/app/DockService.apk.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.apk /system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak
mv /system/app/DockService.odex /system/app/DockService.odex.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.odex /system/app/PortalApp.odex.bak
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*DockService* /data/dalvik-cache/*PortalApp*

cd /system/app
cp /sdcard/DockService.apk ./
cp /sdcard/PortalApp.apk ./
chown 0:0 ./DockService.apk
chown 0:0 ./PortalApp.apk
chmod 644 ./DockService.apk
chmod 644 ./PortalApp.apk

reboot

NOTE: This zip will not in any way help you to obtain root! You must be rooted prior to attempting to apply this patch, or it will not work! (I am aware this requires you to have a dock to obtain root, for now)

Thanks to bane449 for testing this until it worked!
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
No special usb cable, just a hub to use keyboard and mouse?
[Motorola Photon 4G] _unknown:
usb is tricky since you need to mod the hub (solder some things) to make it work correctly with the Atrix (so I assume the same for Photon). Instead, you can use a bluetooth keyboard & mouse, or you can use the virtual keyboard/mouse that the phone becomes when starting webtop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
Bluetooth k keyboards and mice together Are pricy still.
[Motorola Photon 4G] b-reezy:
Thank you. Works perfect!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I tried this and while I think I was successful, I did notice two strange things.

First: I had no dalvik-cache for either PortalApp or DockService, though I am not sure if I was supposed to. From there I continued on and everything seemed okay, no errors.

Second: After I finished up I checked my sdcard and saw DockService.apk but did not find PortalApp.apk. Slightly alarmed I went back into the shell and verified that both apks were in /system/bin along with their respective backups. I didn't get any errors copying so I can't figure out how PortalApp.apk disappeared from my sdcard. Anyways one thing I'm sure of is that I didn't accidentally use the 'mv' command. Is there a way of verifying that the hack is working (I do not have a hdmi cable on me atm.)

Here is the log of what I did.

Update: I plugged a hdmi cable directly into the phone and managed to launch Webtop. The mouse and keyboard controls appear on the phone with webtop loaded on the tv but I cannot interact. The curser doesn't move, the keyboard can't be brought up. The phone itself isn't frozen, I'm able to launch camera and raise/lower volume. Any idea whats going on?

Update 2: I got it to work by replacing the files again and cycled through several restarts. Eventually it worked however it would be better if i could use FlexT9 instead of the standard keyboard (It does freeze up sometimessssssssssssssssssss.) Thank you _unknown. Thank you bane449. You guys just saved me $100 bucks.

There's no irony! Just buy the dock, root, apply exploit, and return the dock!! You almost always will have some grace period to return it if you don't like it...

end result = $100 in your pocket, a rooted photon, and docking capabilities! you win.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
The only problem with not keeping the dock is that every time you're going to need to re-root (such as after a MR, or when you start playing with ROM flashing and need to go back to square 1 after a ROM screwed you up), you're going to have to go through that same process.

Sure, it can be done, but with my Premier 25% discount, the dock was $75. Granted, it's still too expensive for what it is, but it's worth it for me.

command prompt question

do you press enter after every line of the code or just copy and paste the code???
[Motorola Photon 4G] _unknown:
You can paste all the commands after the "su" in the phone shell. Although it's always safest to press enter every time, so you can see which command outputs what.
[Motorola Photon 4G] _unknown:
Chances are that a new MR will block the current root exploit (assuming they update webtop), so you won't be able to use the dock for root anyway. You can usually retain root (copying su somewhere safe, aka the frozenfish method) across updates.

That's ok, rooting was only icing on the cake, I wasn't expecting root for at least 2 to 3 months due to the locked bootloader.
